I'm a Christian woman, happily married to my best friend, Neal. We have 3 teenage sons, Gary, Dale, and Carl. Neal preaches for the Bear Valley church of Christ in Denver, CO. We love the Lord and His church! We pray that we will live in such a way as to have true success: to have our family spend eternity together in Heaven, and to take as many people with us as we can.

Thank you for being so supportive to your husband. I know preaching and being an elder is one of the least jobs that people appreciate. The work is long and often draws you away from your family. So often we don’t see the benefits of our labor but it’s our job to plant the seed and to water and leave to God for the growth. Sometimes it might take years for that seed to grow but when it does it’s like watching a flower bursting out to bloom for the first time and there is nothing like it. Even today even tho I have seen many baptisms it still brings a tear to my eye to see a new child of God come up out of that water and I pray that I never stop feeling that feeling. God bless you and your wonderful husband. I thoroughly enjoy reading the articles both you and Neil writes it has been a great blessing to me and I often take them and share them with others to enjoy as well. I hope and pray that someday I will get to listen to Neil preach and to meet you as well. In Christian love, Ken

Thanks so much for the great article Kathy! I have not been married 21 years but 5 years, but they have been the BEST 5 years! My husband is currently in school at SWSBS. I can say with all my heart that I am so happy in the decision that he has made to be a preacher. We are already experiencing so much of this. What a blessing to just be a Christian! I am so glad to hear the love that you have for your husband and for our Father. I pray for many more wonderful years for you and Neal!

Thanks for this article. I’m gathering material for a preacher wife’s class. I plan on sharing this to them. It is nice to be able to present a positive side to being a preacher’s wife. You want them to be prepared but there are so many blessing to enjoy. Again thanks!
